About this map

The Naches River and its various forks dominate this 2014 terrain study, carving through the high country where Snoqualmie National Forest spans the border between Kittitas and Yakima counties. The confluence of the Little Naches River and Bumping River marks a primary hydrologic junction in the northwest, feeding the main river channel that flows southeast past Sawmill Flat and the community of Cliffdell. This area serves as a gateway for mountain travel, defined by the winding path of State Hwy 410.

Cultural landmarks are concentrated along the river corridor, including the Peterson Cem and the small settlement of Pinecliff further downstream. The landscape is punctuated by prominent geological features such as Edgar Rock, Haystack Rock, and the steep incline of Devils Slide. These landmarks, along with numerous drainage systems like Gold Cr and Milk Cr, provide a framework for understanding the recreational and natural resource layout of the region during the early 21st century.
